What this means

  • The index files this text under article 248 of the Constitution of Kenya.
  • The passage runs to about 95 words.
  • Read plainly, it mentions equality and non-discrimination — it requires equal treatment or forbids discrimination (the words used: “Equality”); it mentions pay and pensions — it sets pay, salary, allowance or pension terms (the words used: “Salaries”); it mentions police powers — it sets out what the police or other security services may do (the words used: “Police”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) This Chapter applies to the commissions specified in clause (2) and the independent offices specified in clause (3), except”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
